Epic Video: Homeowner Fights Off 5 Attackers with Machete

I will always preach that you should practice your second amendment rights and not only carry outside, but carry inside as well. However, sometimes we cannot get to our firearms in time for whatever reason. In that case, I say be like this man below. He uses a machete to fight off 5-would be robbers.

That’s right. One Florida homeowner fought off FIVE men! How incredible is that? What makes it even better is that we have the footage for you right here:

I find it ironic that the criminals had a gun, yet the homeowner still came at them with the machete to protect his home.

Just after 4:45 a.m., the Public Safety Communications Center received a report of a suspicious person armed with a rifle, at a home in the 2100 block of Dodge Avenue. As deputies were responding, more information was gathered indicating that the homeowner disarmed the suspect and was holding him until law enforcement arrived. As calltakers gathered details and deputies began to arrive, the victim advised that two more suspects were involved and fled prior to law enforcement arrival. Based on a description of the suspect’s vehicle, deputies were able to quickly locate it at a gas station in the 5600 block of Fruitville Road. Four men wearing dark clothing were found inside the car, one of whom was carrying several zip ties.

All five men were interviewed by detectives and two of them admitted to committing the robbery. As detectives continued to gather evidence, they recovered surveillance video from the victim’s home which captured the entire incident. Video shows Alen Beltran-Vazquez, Angel Cabrera-Basulto and Ronier Jauregui-Lorente enter the victim’s porch armed with a shotgun, machete and crowbar, in an attempt to rob the victim. Cabrera-Basulto and Jauregui-Lorente are seen fleeing the home while the victim arms himself with a machete and holds Beltran-Vazquez until deputies arrive.
